| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | May 4, 2009 Pours dark brown, black in the glass, thinnish tan head. Sweet, smoky aroma. Palate seems unusually thick, milky. Flavor pairs a smoky, dark chocolate malt, with a sweet-tart fruity element, pineapple and a twist of blueberry esters here, but I didn’t think they harmonized all that well. shawnm213 (1002), South Bend, Indiana, USA

This beer poured solid black with a thin chocolate head. The aroma consisted of roasted malts and fruits. I found the alcohol to be masked very well. The problem I had with this beer was its carbonation. It is overly carbonated and doesn’t match the profile that I am used to. Regardless, it is a good drinking beer but not something I will search out again. fredandboboflo (1431), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Aroma of roasted malt, heavily cream-infused coffee, bittering hops, chocolate, a hint of alcohol-soaked fruits. Flavor pretty sweet with roasted malt. Bitter, roasted finish. Certainly isn’t as rich as the sort of imperial stout we’re all used to, but I still like it.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of rich roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Flavor of roasted malt and sweet malt with alcohol in the finish. Pretty decent, but it doesn’t really excite me either. Just a chill imperial stout.
